Going behind the cut... You've been warned.
So, I was going about my evening browsing the internet for piano pictures with jrabbit from TTH when I get a strange call from
azraelz_angel. She asked if I was watching SCC. I told her I was about to start because I had gotten sidetracked and my DVR was recording. She said she couldn't talk then and we hung up. I started watching.
Never, in a million, billion years would I have seen that coming. They killed Derek! And it just happened. Like Bang. A single shot to the forward.
My NCIS loving self realizes that had I not known ahead of time that Kate was going to die this is how I would have felt.
They just killed him. Dead.
The ending with John Henry singing the song Savannah taught him was very nicely done. I loved his voice as they showed the scenes of what we assume is Derek's ashes being buried and Sarah being led away on the big screen.
Aside from my shocked state (I think I stopped breathing), the way they did the episode was good. They delivered such a punch. Punch? More like a bullet between the eyes.
I think this is going to overtake Forever Knight in my 'why the fuck did they have to go on a character killing spree' rant.
End Reaction.

So it took me completely by surprise. Bam.
... Yeah, no. The awesomeness quotient of the rest would have to be amazingly high to make up for that.
Hope that thought helps.
The moment he got shot. I'm pretty sure my head did the blonde head tilt and I asked, "Did Derek just die?"
Awesome.
I even did fic already because of it.
Then I have to agree that this was a total shocker. I don't partake of the TSCC community/fandom so I had no idea. And it was a very Kate like moment. And I think the season is shaping up nicely. Some things are changing and some stories are wrapping up while at the same time throwing a few new ones out there for next season.
I'm not active in the SCC community/fandom stuff either, so I had no idea it was coming... But they did it well and handled it nicely.
